Hey Jocelyn, My name is Tracy. I also had a bypass in march and i am about a month out. Right now I am supposed to be on a full liquid diet. I find that I get nauseated if I try to eat anything more than what is on my diet. Or try to drink and eat at the same time. It does not mix well. You are supposed to wait 30 minutes in between. I know it is hard because you think you are hungry but your body can't tolerate what you want to eat and then you stay nauseated or throw up. At least I do. I also don't tolerate drinking Water, I prefer ice chips. Just find something you like ( Vitamin Water, Powerade zeros ) to get your fluids in.

Hi Jocelyn, my name is Ebony I'm 24 and had the bypass on Dec 16th of last year starting at 226 I've recently hit my 4 month mark and I'm currently at 157. I used to have the same issue as you when it comes to being nauseous but I quickly learned it was because I didn't wait the whole 30 minutes in between drinking and eating. Every since surgery I barely can get in 48 Oz a day if that, it happens to a lot of us. If you'd like to inbox me I could use a friend as well.

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
